Default RB Talent Unmatched
Not to sound like a homer but can anyone name a team with more talent at RB?

Ridley (23yrs old) - 4th in NFL in rushing
Bolden (22yrs old) - 206yds, 5.6ypc
Vereen (23yrs old) - 1st career TD today and showed well in opportunities.
Woodhead (27yrs old)- Excellent 3rd down back and situational runner.

Pretty much what he said. Tate would be a starter on most teams. Arian Foster is as lethal as an RB could get. Currently though, our RB corps is fantastic and adds depth to our high-powered offense. So excited that we actually have a legit running game. Been missing that ever since the dynasty era when we had Corey.

Even if all of these teams have more/better RB talent, that still puts us in the top 10. With this passing offense added to the mix, things get downright nasty for opposing teams. It was fun to watch at the game today!

I would rather have Tate and Foster than all of of those guys

I'll remain a homer and take our 4 over Foster and Tate. Also over the 400 trillion dollars that Foster costs.

Should we start casting Ridley's bust for Canton?

In past years, sure. Right now, it's pretty heavily the Pats' favor, though:
Ridley: 4.8 YPC
Bolden: 5.6

Tate: 3.9
Foster: 3.7
